We're all used to the seeing Advent Wreaths: three purple candles and one pink candle in an evergreen wreath. But have we ever stopped to consider the symbolism? There's a lot there, and it's very helpful. 

Did you ever wonder what makes someone a saint? A saint is someone who we know is in heaven. We know because people have prayed to them for miracles, and their prayers were answered.
